Chapter 13 Su Qiao'er's Sarcasm: You, Zheng Jie, are a despicable person.
Compared to the happiness on Zheng Jie's faction's side, the atmosphere among the rest of the Zheng family was heavy.
"That rebellious son."
Father Zheng's face was twisted in displeasure.
He had built this company himself, yet he never imagined he would be kicked out by his own son. Most importantly, it was by a son he didn't even like. Thinking of the scene at the board meeting where Zheng Jie became the chairman, Father Zheng clenched his fists, his face full of rage.
"Dad, how is your contacting going?"
At this moment, Zheng Tian couldn't help but ask. He was feeling uncomfortable inside, thinking that if Father Zheng hadn't given Zheng Jie 10% of the shares, how could Zheng Jie have become the chairman of the Zheng Group?
"It's almost done."
"Don't worry, Xiao Tian. It's not that easy for Zheng Jie to make himself the chairman of the Zheng Group."
Hearing this, Zheng Tian nodded.
He knew that the senior management of the group was loyal to Father Zheng. So what if Zheng Jie was now the group chairman? As long as these senior executives submitted their resignations, the entire group would immediately fall into paralysis. Then, the Zheng family could take the opportunity to contact the leadership and pressure Zheng Jie or those few internet companies. Even if Zheng Jie didn't want to, he would have to obediently give up the position of group chairman.
In fact, if even one internet company changed its mind and supported Father Zheng, then Zheng Jie would be finished. After all, the difference in shares between the two sides was less than 1%, wasn't it?
But they were too naive. To truly think that Zheng Jie had no preparations at all was laughable.
Just at this moment, Zheng Tian's phone suddenly rang. It was a call from the designer.
During the month that Zheng Jie was away traveling, Zheng Tian and Su Qiaoer had bought a Villa for themselves as a wedding house. This Villa was quite nice, located in the best position in the city center, with beautiful scenery and an area of over 5000 square meters. After finalizing this, Zheng Tian and Su Qiaoer immediately contacted a nationally renowned designer to design the entire Villa. When he saw the designer calling him, Zheng Tian frowned tightly.
He answered the phone.
"Hello, what's wrong?"
Zheng Tian was feeling uncomfortable, so his attitude when speaking couldn't be described as very good.
"Mr. Zheng, the construction team at the Villa just called me and said that the construction of your Villa has stopped. Furthermore, they have already changed the designer, saying they don't need me anymore. I would like to ask you what is going on?"
This designer was also unhappy. It was agreed that he would design it, but after his design drawings were finished and construction had already started, he was suddenly replaced. For a designer with a certain reputation, this was completely insulting. Hearing this, Zheng Tian was slightly stunned.
Changed the designer? He hadn't... Wait, at this moment, Zheng Tian suddenly realized something. Could it be that this was Zheng Jie's arrangement?
When they bought the house, it was registered under the name of the Zheng Group. In other words, now that Zheng Jie had become the chairman of the Zheng Group, this Villa nominally really belonged to Zheng Jie.
"This... wait, I'll call you back in a moment."
Hanging up the phone, Zheng Tian threw his phone directly onto the floor.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing the anger on his eldest son's face, Father Zheng frowned. "What happened? What's going on?"
"Dad, do you know what Zheng Jie has done? He actually demanded that construction on my and Su Qiaoer's wedding Villa be stopped. What does this mean? The group can be his, but is he not even willing to give me my wedding house? Why, why!"
Zheng Tian's tone was full of anger. If Zheng Jie were in front of him right now, he would definitely hit Zheng Jie. However, as a transmigrator, Zheng Jie's physical abilities were indeed quite formidable, so in all likelihood, Zheng Tian wouldn't be able to beat Zheng Jie.
"This..."
Hearing this, Su Qiaoer's face also looked unsightly.
"I'll go call Zheng Jie."
At this moment, Su Qiaoer couldn't sit still. She stood up directly, went outside, and dialed Zheng Jie's number.
When he saw the call from Su Qiaoer, Zheng Jie was slightly stunned. He answered.
"Zheng Jie, what do you mean by this? The Zheng Group has already been given to you, and now you want to snatch away my and Zheng Tian's wedding house too?"
Su Qiaoer's tone was full of anger. Hearing this, Zheng Jie chuckled.
"Su Qiaoer, if there is something wrong with your brain, then go get it treated."
"What wedding house for you and Zheng Tian? This Villa is registered under the group's name; when did it become yours and Zheng Tian's?"
"Now I am the chairman of the Zheng Group, and I have the right to handle all the group's assets. Right now, I am handling my assets, so what does that have to do with you and Zheng Tian?"
As he spoke, Zheng Jie crossed his legs.
"Zheng Jie!"
"I really misjudged you."
"When we divorced, I still felt some guilt towards you."
"But now it seems you are just a sinister villain, going to snatch away things that shouldn't have belonged to you in the first place."
Hearing this, Zheng Jie's face was calm.
"Su Qiaoer, I once said something to you before: I am not Zheng Tian. I don't have many opportunities. If an opportunity is placed in front of me, I will seize it without hesitation."
"For this past month, Zheng Tian has been hogging the limelight. Now... it is time for me to take back what belongs to me."
Hearing this, Su Qiaoer's face looked unsightly.
"You are just a... villain."
"Thank you for your evaluation."
Zheng Jie's tone was calm, completely unaffected by the other party's words. Just kidding, if Zheng Jie could be affected so easily, then he shouldn't be the chairman of the company.
Hanging up the phone, Zheng Jie snorted.
"Su Qiaoer."
At this time, Zheng Tian also appeared behind Su Qiaoer.
"Zheng Jie, he is just a villain."
When Su Qiaoer spoke, her tone was full of anger.
"He has been like this since he was a child, otherwise why would Father send him to the countryside?"
"I originally felt some guilt towards him because of the divorce, but now it seems he is a wolf with wild ambitions."
Hearing this, Zheng Tian reached out and wrapped his arms around Su Qiaoer.
"It's okay, didn't Dad say? He has already made arrangements now. Zheng Jie won't be able to sit in the position of Zheng Group chairman for long. Don't worry, don't think too much."
At this moment, Zheng Tian had also calmed down.
Although it appeared that the advantage was in Zheng Jie's hands right now, in the end, the other party only got the group chairmanship through those few internet companies. As long as they could manipulate things to make these groups stop supporting Zheng Jie, then Zheng Jie would be nothing.
Of course, if Zheng Tian knew right now that those few companies all belonged to Zheng Jie, he probably wouldn't be so optimistic.
Moreover, Su Qiaoer had completely broken off with Zheng Jie. As long as they took the company back, Zheng Jie would have nothing, and the biggest winner would still be himself. Thinking of this, Zheng Tian felt some anticipation, looking forward to the time when he would take back the Zheng Group. The expression on Zheng Jie's face at that time would surely be very interesting.
"Alright, don't think too much, let's hurry back. Mom and Dad are still waiting for us to eat."
"Alright."
Hearing this, Su Qiaoer followed Zheng Tian back into the living room.
"Su Qiaoer, don't be angry because of a villain. Don't worry, I have already arranged it. In at most one week, Zheng Jie will step down from his current position as chairman."
"By the way, Su Qiaoer, if I remember correctly, doesn't the Zheng Group have a few projects with the Su Group?"
At this time, Father Zheng suddenly realized something and looked at Su Qiaoer. Hearing this, Su Qiaoer nodded.
Most of these projects were approved when Zheng Jie was president; they were all very high-quality projects.
"That's right, Dad, what's wrong?"
"Tomorrow, the group's senior management will collectively resign. At that time, you represent the Su Group and cancel the cooperation with Zheng Jie's side."
"These projects are very large in scale, with a total investment of nearly 80 billion. Not many companies can take them on. When the Su Group cancels the cooperation, Zheng Jie will definitely be at a loss. Plus the collective resignation of the group's senior management, I want to see if a fragmented Zheng Group will still be supported by those few companies?"
When Father Zheng spoke, his tone was full of malice. In short, he wanted to make Zheng Jie roll out of the position at the Zheng Group. Hearing this, Su Qiaoer nodded.
"Okay, I understand, Dad. Don't worry, I will definitely cooperate fully."
Su Qiaoer said so. At this moment, Father Zheng nodded. Obviously, at this time, he felt that he had already won.
Confidence is a very good quality. But if one is too confident, that is arrogance.
At night, Su Qiaoer returned to her home. Sitting in the living room, she rubbed her forehead, which was already a bit sore.
Too many things had happened today.
Divorcing Zheng Jie, marrying Zheng Tian, then Zheng Jie rebelling within the group and becoming the chairman of the Zheng Group, and tomorrow there would be internal strife again. Thinking of this, Su Qiaoer sighed.
"Zheng Jie, when did you start planning this?"
"Was it a long time ago?"
Su Qiaoer sat on the sofa.
She thought of the daytime when Zheng Jie told her that she was secondhand goods. Thinking of that scene, Su Qiaoer's eyes turned red. Unconsciously, her tears fell slowly.
At this moment, she felt very sad inside. Because she felt that the current Zheng Jie was too much of a stranger. If it were the previous Zheng Jie, he would definitely not have said such things. Thinking of this, Su Qiaoer took out her phone and clicked on the chat interface between her and Zheng Jie.
Looking at the past chat messages, Su Qiaoer really wanted to ask. Had he been plotting these things since before the divorce? Su Qiaoer even really wanted to ask if her marriage with him was more important, or if the company was more important.
In reality, Su Qiaoer didn't even need to ask. Because Zheng Jie had already given his answer with his actual actions.
On the other side, Zheng Jie received a call from Zhang Wei.
"Is that so?"
"Then let them come."
There are no airtight walls in the world. Perhaps Father Zheng felt his secrecy was flawless, but Zheng Jie had already known about it for a long time. Even before planning the rebellion, Zheng Jie had already prepared a contingency plan.
Therefore, the Zheng family was looking forward to tomorrow, and Zheng Jie was also looking forward to tomorrow. And both sides felt that they would definitely win...
